Can ice be grinded in the bullet?

Yes it can; for a fine grind, use a few ice cubes at a time, rather than a lot at once. Grinding ice this way - or anything else that's harder - will also keep the Bullet's motor from burning out. Hope this helps!

No. You have to put a cup with ice in the freezer and let it turn to ice. Then put the ice in the machine and hold the top down and shaved ice will come out through the bottom. Don't forget to put a cup to catch the shaved ice. Good luck.

Yes the Bullet will pretty much handle just about anything put into it. I've used it to blend soups, crush ice, make smoothies etc, and it works very well.

I would dissolve it in the warm tea before you add ice. It should never crystalize once dissolved.

Yes, you can grind most any meat to make ground burger or sausage. That's the beauty of grinding you own. You know exactly what's in your burger or sausage. I would suggest cutting into cubes and putting in the freezer for a short time to firm up the meat while you get everything set up. Then remove and start grinding. This grinder worked well for me. I made lots of deer burger and sausage last fall.

I dont think so. We used bagged. I think a shaved ice machine uses blocked ice.

i'm using the magic bullet w/ miller attachment... very fine grind! but dont fill past the fill line, gets really hard to press the water thru. Also, use tap water non filtered if your water is decent... filtered water has less minerals and seems not to taste as good.

We have always used rock salt (could probably use table salt but it costs more) and ice. We freeze ice in empty milk containers, put it in a strong gunny sack and smash it up with the side of an ax or with a hammer......or buy crushed ice which is way easier! The freezer comes with recipes and directions or I think they are on the White Mountain web site.

No, although to my knowledge the cold steel is a full flat grind. Though if you really wanted a convex edge, just put one on it by sharpening it with sand paper on a soft yet firm surface.

ONLY regular ice cubes will work. You would have to chisel off chunks of a block to fit them in the chute.

Hi MAK212, Thanks for contacting us about your question! It's pretty simple to make bullet ice cubes using KitchenWave bullet ice mold: 1. Place the bottom piece (without tiny hole on each bullet slot) of the ice cube tray on a table, fill it with water until full, slowly and gently put the top piece over it, then carefully lock all four latches; 2. Slowly move the locked ice cube tray into fridge, be sure to stay flat when doing this, don't get water leak from the upside tiny holes, keep it in fridge for couple hours; 3. Take out the tray from the fridge, put it under running water for couple seconds, this will make it easier to unlock the tray. If you still cannot unlock the tray because it's too tight, you can try to use a regular slot type screw driver to open the locks quickly; 4. Once you remove the top lid, slightly squeeze the tray, now you are be able to get the beautiful bullet shape ice cube out from the tray! Hope you are satisfied with our answer, please enjoy our products with your family and friends! Best regards,

Honestly I don't see why it wouldn't be able to. It turns ice into dust in a matter of seconds, it really has made my life a lot easier. I haven't used this blender for dry goods and don't have any experience doing that so I can't guarantee it. There is a recipe guide that it comes with for a "Crunchy Thai Peanut Spread" and the first step for making that is to take two cups roasted peanuts and pulse on "option 1" until chunky. So I'm sure it wouldn't be an issue.

I don't know; I've never tried that. It can be ground into flour, or cooked as a whole grain. If your blender can grind tough grains like rice, than it should be able to do this, too.

If you use a harder ice and don't force it thru it does grind it more fine. It is not a snow, but really close

J. Joensuu, Yes, you can use regular ice BUT and this is a big BUT remember you will be pressing down on the lid. To get the kind of shaved ice that is typical for snow cones I still think the best bet is to use the molds provided.If you are using ice cubes I would make sure that the ice cubes are all level so that the lid doesn't come down at an angle which could put stress on the blades. Also the ice will probably not be as uniform as ice created with the molds. Hope this helps! -Mark

No!!!!! I hated this grinder. I actually gave it one star after trying to use it. It actually grinded metal into the food, so I threw it away pronto. I don't recommend it at all! A blender works perfectly. I make purées in large batches and freeze in ice cube trays. Keep in ziplock bags in the freezer, then u have individual servings to thaw.

Sorry, I have not tried to do ice. I use mine for making nut butter. It does a verry good job for that and I am pleased with my twister jar.
